Elizabeth at the Cactus Festival

[velvetpage]

sassy_fae, wonderful lady that she is, brought her nice ferret along (nice, to distinguish from the other ferret, who is anything but.) His name is Dil. I think she spoke to every single kid who passed us in either direction.

Well, Elizabeth was fascinated by Dil. She petted him. She held him. She giggled with intense amusement when he sat in her stroller, and she played hide-and-seek with him when he burrowed under the padded seat cover of the stroller.

On the way home, she played with her My LIttle Pony. She had a new name, though.

Her Pony is now Ferret-pony, and she was digging in Elizabeth's dress and playing in the poussette (stroller), at least to hear Elizabeth talk about it. Ferret-pony was also told a few dozen times the story of the Itsy Bitzy Spider. Elizabeth knows all the words for that song, except the very last one. She sings the last line the same as she sings the first, so it turns into a song that never ends because of course, after the spider climbs up the water spout, the rain has to come again and wash him out, over and over again. Well, she was telling the ferret-pony, "The rain washed the 'pider out, ferret-pony! Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, ferret! Sing wit' me, ferret-pony!" Then she launched into it again.

Pictures to follow of an inquisitive toddler and an equally inquisitive ferret, as soon as sassy_fae downloads them off her camera.

Do you not have a digital camera?

Yes. Piet took it to Indianapolis with him for the weekend.

Oh, that's beyond cute. Far, far beyond cute.

Aww. We need to bring her to Gencon. :) Lots of cool toys for her here, and more kid-friendly than AC.

I miss you!
